## Abstract

An improved system and method for defining an event based upon an object location and a user-defined zone and managing the conveyance of object location event information among computing devices where object location events are defined in terms of a condition based upon a relationship between user-defined zone information and object location information. One or more location information sources are associated with an object to provide the object location information. One or more user-defined zones are defined on a map and one or more object location events are defined. The occurrence of an object location event produces object location event information that is conveyed to users based on user identification codes. Accessibility to object location information, zone information, and object location event information is based upon an object location information access code, a zone information access code, and an object location event information access code, respectively.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for tracking events associated with a plurality of mobile devices that occur at at mobile device locations, each of said mobile devices being associated with a location information source used to locate the mobile device, the method comprising:
a. administering a first information sharing environment comprising a first network of computing devices by a first administrator of a tracking service, said tracking service using a tracking application software, which is configured to control access to authorized user accounts of authorized users of the tracking service in a plurality of groups, wherein the groups are associated with corresponding group identification codes (GIDs) in a database (DB) by the first administrator, said authorized users including 1) a group administrator of a group having a group administrator identification code used to access a group administrator account and 2) a first authorized user having a first authorized user identification code used to access a first authorized user account;
b. using a computing device in the first information sharing environment to interface with a second information sharing environment administered by a second administrator independent of the first administrator, the second information sharing environment comprising a second network of computing devices, including servers that execute the tracking application software for accessing the DB, which is maintained by the second administrator in the second network of computing devices;
c. receiving an access request to the group administrator account from a computing device in a third information sharing environment associated with the group having a GID;
d. granting access to the group administrator account before associating, in the DB, the first authorized user identification code of the first authorized user with the GID;
e. granting access to the first authorized user account based on the first authorized user identification code;
f. receiving a first event condition for occurrence of a first event that is met based on locations of a first mobile device or a second mobile device in the group relative to a zone or boundary; and
g. receiving a second event condition for occurrence of a second event that is met based on sensor information that causes transmission of one or more video signals in the group;
h. conveying a first event notification after the first event condition is met; and
i. conveying the one or more video signals after the second event condition is met.
